Banner does not link to corresponding topic/post

AI 生成的摘要

A discussion was started about banners not linking to corresponding topics or posts. The original poster, loopback0, suggested that if something is important enough to be bannered, it should be easy to access the corresponding discussion. sam pointed out that this is up to moderators, who decide what to banner, and sometimes may not want to link to the discussion.

lisajill proposed adding a link that only moderators and admins can see, allowing them to quickly access and remove banners. codinghorror supported this idea and suggested adding a small font footnote to the banner that says “edit this banner >>” and links to the post. zogstrip implemented this feature, adding a link for staff members to easily edit banners.

No way to easily get from the banner to the topic, unless the corresponding post actually has a link to itself added.

I actually think this is up to moderators, they are the one’s doing the bannering.

Sometimes it may be appropriate to link to the discussion, sometimes, well the banner could be a closed hidden topic.

In the above case they can simply improve the copy to link to the topic.

Revisiting this, would it be possible to add a link that even only mods/admins would see so that we can quickly get to the banner to remove it? That would be a great feature and avoid confusion/searching.

That’s a great, great idea for a feature – @zogstrip can you add a small font footnote to the banner that only staff can see that says

“edit this banner >>”

and when clicked, takes you to the post?
